News It Appears That Nintendo Has Unfinished Business With The 1080° Snowboarding Series

Shreddin’ the gnar
1080° Snowboarding on the N64 and its sequel 1080° Avalanche on the GameCube are both fondly remembered arcade style snowboarding games, which were overshadowed a bit by EA's SSX series back in the day.

1080°: Avalanche brings its unique tradition of authentic 3-D snowboarding action to NINTENDO GAMECUBE. Game play satisfaction snowballs as players master snowboarding physics and an all-new trick system. Favorite boarders, such as the well-balanced Kensuke, the technical master Rob or the incredibly fast Dion, charge jumps, grab huge air and complete twisted combos. Watch out though, a potentially impressive stunt could lead to a board-breaking disaster.

Features:

Tackle multiple game play modes including match race, time attack, trick attack, contest, and training mode, which includes a half-pipe for major stunts.
Navigate surprise avalanches, rock-slides and varying weather conditions that affect boarding and may open unseen paths.
Nail unreal trick combos or lay it on the line and rage down the mountain.
Experience smooth controls that simulate the feeling of gliding across fresh mountain-top powder.
